Hey,

a while back I was messing around with some winapi calls in D, and I had
occasion to want to link to crypt32.dll, but dmd doesn't seem to ship
with a crypt32.lib.

I tried downloading the platform sdk or whatever the thing is called,
but, um...

dmd ssl_client.d "C:\Program Files\Microsoft
SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Lib\Crypt32.Lib"
OPTLINK (R) for Win32 Release 8.00.12

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0\Lib\Crypt32.Lib
Error 43: Not a Valid Library File


Actually, looking at those lib files a little closer, they appear to be
mildly messed up ar archives.

Any ideas on what I should do here?

They are COFF import libs.
Use Unilink or convert libs to omf format. Another option is implib.
